(58,785 posts)5. Wonderful, thanks! I just went and found this
old article about Hedley's obsession with tweeting. Old but good.
Trudeau says that Hedley has some "pretty tough competition" from real journalists who use Twitter. ... "Writing this stuff is a new kind of challenge. ... I'm used to writing in a kind of economical form, but this is like comedy haiku," says Trudeau. "You drop some words into that little box, and you edit and re-edit and re-edit, and the idea, of course, is to create the impression that it is completely unedited."
